When Davy Hamilton's
tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the
kill gene-she loses everything. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents
are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at
Juilliard. Davy doesn't feel any different, but genes don't lie. One day
she will kill someone.

Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can
relate to her new life. Davy wants to trust him; maybe he's not as
dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.

Seventeen-year-old
Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than
siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward
mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents
to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the
stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so
completely—has also also brought them closer than two siblings would
ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their
clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know
their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they
cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward
an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a love this
devastating has no happy ending.

What if your whole world was a lie?What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is
shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss
and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the
limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and
Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies,
tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new
reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old
discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths
change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle
to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while
facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and
love.

“You're not very nice," I say, grinning."You're one to talk.""Hey, I could be nice if I tried.""Hmm." He taps his chin. "Say something nice, then.""You're very good-looking."He smiles, his teeth a flash in this dark. "I like this 'nice' thing.

Before.
Miles "Pudge" Halter's whole existence has been one big nonevent, and
his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the "Great
Perhaps" (François Rabelais, poet) even more. Then he heads off to the
sometimes crazy, possibly unstable, and anything-but-boring world of
Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe.
Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny,
sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska
Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world,
launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart.

“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole
life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one
day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you
going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the
present.”

But
it isn't the monster Conor's been expecting. He's been expecting the
one from his nightmare, the one he's had nearly every night since his
mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind
and the screaming...

This monster is something different, though.
Something ancient, something wild. And it wants the most dangerous
thing of all from Conor.

Their love and their
leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite
the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring
balance to their world.

The race to the Still Blue has reached a
stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven
from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as
determined to stay together.

Meanwhile, time is running out to
rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique
abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry
that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have
already lost.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to
mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to
unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also
their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what
matter most.

Tana lives in a world
where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined
monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and
prey. It's an eternal party, shown on TV 24 hours a day - gorgeous,
glamorous, deadly! Because, once you pass through Coldtown's gates, you
can never leave...

“Isn't every hero aware of all the terrible reason they did those good
deeds?" Aware of every mistake they ever made and how good people got
hurt because of their decisions? Don't they recall the moments they
weren't heroic at all? The moments where their heroism led to more
deaths than deliberate villainy ever could?”

It’s time to choose
sides… On the surface, Sorry-in-the-Vale is a sleepy English town. But
Kami Glass knows the truth. Sorry-in-the-Vale is full of magic. In the
old days, the Lynburn family ruled with fear, terrifying the people into
submission in order to kill for blood and power. Now the Lynburns are
back, and Rob Lynburn is gathering sorcerers so that the town can return
to the old ways.

But Rob and his followers aren’t the only
sorcerers in town. A decision must be made: pay the blood sacrifice, or
fight. For Kami, this means more than just choosing between good and
evil. With her link to Jared Lynburn severed, she’s now free to love
anyone she chooses. But who should that be?

“I don't care," Kami informed him. "All you are to me are sex objects
that I choose to imagine bashing together at random. Oh, there you go
again, look at that, nothing but Lynburn skin as far as the mind's eye
can see. Masculine groans fill the air, husky and-""Stop it," Ash said in a faint voice. "That isn't fair."Behind
them, Jared was laughing. Kami glanced back at him and caught his eye:
for once, it made her smile, as if amusement could still travel back and
forth like a spark between them."Ash is right, this is totally unfair," Jared told her. "If you insist on this-""Oh, I do," Kami assured him."Then I insist on hooking up with Rusty instead of Ash. It's the least you can do.""Ugh," Ash protested. "You guys, stop.""She's making a point," Jared said blandly. "I recognize her right to do that. But considering the alternative, I want Rusty."Ash gave this some thought. "Okay, I'll have Rusty too."The sound of the door opening behind them made them all look up the stairs to where Rusty stood, with one eyebrow raised."Don't fight, boys," he remarked mildly. "There's plenty of Rusty to go around.”

Now that the ley lines
around Cabeswater have been woken, nothing for Ronan, Gansey, Blue, and
Adam will be the same. Ronan, for one, is falling more and more deeply
into his dreams, and his dreams are intruding more and more into waking
life. Meanwhile, some very sinister people are looking for some of the
same pieces of the Cabeswater puzzle that Gansey is after...

"You have to kill him."
Imprisoned in the heart of a secret military base, Em has nothing
except the voice of the boy in the cell next door and the list of
instructions she finds taped inside the drain.

Only Em can
complete the final instruction. She’s tried everything to prevent the
creation of a time machine that will tear the world apart. She holds the
proof: a list she has never seen before, written in her own hand. Each
failed attempt in the past has led her to the same terrible
present—imprisoned and tortured by a sadistic man called the doctor
while war rages outside.

Marina has loved her best friend James
since the day he moved next door when they were children. A gorgeous,
introverted science prodigy from one of America’s most famous families,
James finally seems to be seeing Marina in a new way, too. But on one
disastrous night, James’s life crumbles apart, and with it, Marina’s
hopes for their future. Now someone is trying to kill him. Marina will
protect James, no matter what. Even if it means opening her eyes to a
truth so terrible that she may not survive it. At least not as the girl
she once was.

It's a night like any
other on board the Icarus. Then, catastrophe strikes: the massive luxury
spaceliner is yanked out of hyperspace and plummets into the nearest
planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive. And they seem to be
alone.

Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the
universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a young war hero who learned long
ago that girls like Lilac are more trouble than they’re worth. But with
only each other to rely on, Lilac and Tarver must work together, making a
tortuous journey across the eerie, deserted terrain to seek help.

Then,
against all odds, Lilac and Tarver find a strange blessing in the
tragedy that has thrown them into each other’s arms. Without the hope of
a future together in their own world, they begin to wonder—would they
be better off staying here forever?

Everything changes when they
uncover the truth behind the chilling whispers that haunt their every
step. Lilac and Tarver may find a way off this planet. But they won’t be
the same people who landed on it.

At the conclusion of
The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading
straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside
their grief and follow Percy’s instructions to find the mortal side of
the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s
forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the
Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants
from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will
Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the
demigods don’t succeed, Gaea’s armies will never die. They have no
time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The
stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths
of Tartarus.

Favoritcitat:“Akhlys lunged at Percy, and for a split second he thought: Well, hey, I’m just smoke. She can’t touch me, right?He imagined the Fates up in Olympus, laughing at his wishful thinking: LOL, NOOB!”

“Nyx’s quasar eyes burned. “Of course not. I would not let my horses eat
you, any more than I would let Akhlys kill you. Such fine prizes, I
will kill myself!”Annabeth didn’t feel particularly witty or
courageous, but her instincts told her to take the initiative, or this
would be a very short conversation.“Oh, don’t kill yourself!” she cried. “We’re not that scary.”The goddess lowered her whip. “What? No, I didn’t mean—”“Well, I hope not!” Annabeth looked at Percy and forced a laugh. “We wouldn’t want to scare her, would we?”“Ha, ha,” Percy said weakly. “No, we wouldn’t.” “Wow. When he started looking back on the war with Kronos as the good old days--that was sad.”

Cath is a Simon Snow
fan. Okay, the whole world is a Simon Snow fan, but for Cath, being a
fan is her life—and she’s really good at it. She and her twin sister,
Wren, ensconced themselves in the Simon Snow series when they were just
kids; it’s what got them through their mother leaving.

Reading.
Rereading. Hanging out in Simon Snow forums, writing Simon Snow fan
fiction, dressing up like the characters for every movie premiere.

Cath’s sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath can’t let go. She doesn’t want to.Now
that they’re going to college, Wren has told Cath she doesn’t want to
be roommates. Cath is on her own, completely outside of her comfort
zone. She’s got a surly roommate with a charming, always-around
boyfriend, a fiction-writing professor who thinks fan fiction is the end
of the civilized world, a handsome classmate who only wants to talk
about words . . . And she can’t stop worrying about her dad, who’s
loving and fragile and has never really been alone.

For Cath, the
question is: Can she do this? Can she make it without Wren holding her
hand? Is she ready to start living her own life? And does she even want
to move on if it means leaving Simon Snow behind?

“No,' Cath said, 'seriously. Look at you. You’ve got your shit together,
you’re not scared of anything. I’m scared of everything. And I’m crazy.
Like maybe you think I’m a little crazy, but I only ever let people see
the tip of my crazy iceberg. Underneath this veneer of slightly crazy
and socially inept, I’m a complete disaster.”

“You’ve read the books?”“I’ve seen the movies.”Cath rolled her
eyes so hard, it hurt. (Actually.) (Maybe because she was still on the
edge of tears. On the edge, period.) “So you haven’t read the books.”“I’m not really a book person.”“That might be the most idiotic thing you’ve ever said to me” “As far as Reagan was concerned, Cath was already problematically weird.
"It's bad enough that you have homemade Simon Snow posters," Reagan had
said last night while she was getting ready for bed. "Do you have to
have gay homemade Simon Snow posters?"Cath had looked up at the drawing over her desk of Simon and Baz holding hands. "Leave them alone," she said. "They're in love.”

I used to think having an undead boyfriend was my biggest problem. Turns out I was dead wrong.

Molly Bartolucci is
trying to keep her head down after getting caught using illegal magic at
her school for necromancers. Now that she knows that she's destined to
be Anubis's Chosen, all she needs to do is study hard and stay out of
trouble. But somehow that seems to be impossible...

First of all, there's
the case of her aunt's soul-Molly has to find a way to free her aunt
from the god Set before it's too late. And then there's Rath, Molly's
hot tutor. Molly's feelings for him are definitely more than academic,
but she can't figure out how he feels in return. To top it all off,
someone is trying to hurt Molly's family-but why? With dark forces
working against her, Molly knows if she can't hold it together, her
destiny could go up in smoke.
